Certified Tutor in Chicago, IL
I believe that everyone learns differently. So it makes sense that a one size fits all approach to teaching is problematic. People can fall behind or may not preform to their full potential if they do not have access to individual attention, and programs tailored to their needs and talents. That is the service that I aim to provide. I enjoy working with students, and enjoy not only helping you learn, but succeed!
